AITech

AITech is the biggest brand in the technology world. It produced the best in class technologies the world has ever seen. Its best in class technologies comes from one of its plant in Fremont, and it also is the deepest guarded facility. No one knows what goes behind the walls of that building. But all the recent best technologies have germinated from it.
At around 12 PM john a thief paid by the rival company breaks into the compound. He runs through the corridors with stealth, passes the cabins and reaches the heart of the building which is often called the Mecca of Technology. To his amusement he founds nothing. All it has is a glass cube housed in the middle of the floor, and all the other computers eyeing towards it. It was midnight, and all lights were off except inside the glass cube. Afraid to be caught, john approaches the Cube and takes a peak. He founds a women sleeping. As soon as he saw her, he was greeted by her voice "Hi John". Hearing his name Johns worst fear came true, he is caught. He starts running towards exit, but it closes in front of him. "Don't worry, you are not caught. Come to my room and everything will be alright", came the voice from the lady. With no option left, John took a long pause to think over, but in end decided to give it up, and turned to the Room to surrender. After entering, the lady offered her chair and asked for his purpose. To that John told her that he is here for company secrets. But the Lady was all calm. They had a long conversation, and John became comfortable with her as she did not accused him of anything and told any consequences. He asked the lady what is she doing in room and why are all tables turned towards her. The lady tells her that she is a Robot made out of artificial Intelligence. They are studying her. This came as a shocker for him. In front of him was a lady, more beautiful then any girl in the world he has seen, talking with complete humane touch. He was in fact falling for her. The lady asked him to come over often. So he started, days passed by, and then months. John has fallen for her. He kept on coming to meet her at night. Lady created a fake pass for him through which he was able to come at night in the form of Janitor. And Lady also kept passing him secrets. But he was always agitated with the thought that the lady, for which he was falling is in fact being studied. Backed with the criminal background, one day he decides to free her out. This day he came out in the the day time with machine gun instead of moper. And he ran it all over the place. There was mayhem all around, Techies ran for cover, and soon the room was empty. He approached the room. The lady was sitting with his head in the hands. "Why did you do it?" shouted the lady. To which John explained that he was in love with him, he hates AI and want to free her and take her along with him. No one should be subject to study with a live conscious, he told. He held up the hand of Lady and started forcing her to come with him. The lady slapped him "Its me studying them you idiot" came the reply. It was a shocker for John. "All the people you have killed, they were not human, they were robot. I was running a simulation to know how they behaved. The only human in this god damn building is me and you. You ruined my millions of dollars setup. Now I have to spend month to resuscitate them.".
As soon as the lady said that, both John and Lady goes down. Enters the watchman of the building, with the remote. He removes his mustache, his face comes up. He is Ramon, the Owner of the Company. Along with him enters Simon, the owner of Rival Company. "The simulation ran successful dear", said Ramon to Simon, "Robots do can fall in love, and can kill, although we did not coded them for it". "So it means AI is dangerous" replied Simon. "Its proved. In front of you" said Ramon.
With these things said a helicopter comes hovering over. With the push of Button both Ramon and Simon goes down as well.

Tom and Tony

Tom was sitting in his office. He was feeling down in the dungeons due to all the things going on in his life. He has too many obligations and too many things going on in parallel. He was watching Tony, who shares the cabin with him. Tony was playing with the pendulum in his office. Tom was worried about one of his Client to whom he was not able to devote enough time. Soon the bugs in software will cross over the threshold limit where they can become unmanageable. He was holding his head in his hands. Just then the Tony jumped in between all his worries. Tony asked him about why is he so worried and Tom explained his predicament. Tom is a 45 years year old bald and heavy guy, who always seem to be worried all the time. While Tony is a young kid on the block guy, with no care in the world and always in the playful mood. Although there is huge age difference, its Tony that always gets Tom out of the blues, cheers him up and resolves out all his worries with a solution.
After hearing Tom, Tony asked him, what does he wants to do in life. The answer was to build his own firm. "So let it slip a little. We had always managed to get back on track. Client is not that much worried. We are worried. And the company wont care. Look Rajni our new hire is all pumped up and she has shown great promise. Trust her she will take care of it. Just keep on communicating well with the Client and don't delve in code by self. Let juniors code. You know right communication accomplishes much more then what work can. You should concentrate on your new firm." With that he picked up Tom from his Desk, took his laptop and played "Stayin Alive" on his laptop. They both enjoyed a good amount of swinging on the song afterwards. Tony was the lifesaver for Tom. His friend, his ally, his psychiatrist, his solution-er. He always admired Tony. After 3 minutes he sat back to his chair, but Tony kept playing the song in repeat mode and kept on dancing. Tom watched all his steps in admiration. Although he is much more then double the Tony's age, he is always helped by Tony because he has tendency of going down every other time. Their friendship has lasted for decades. When Tom ex-girlfriend left him. it was Tony who helped him cope out of it. He took him out from the blue, indulged him in new pursuits, helped him get back on with work and life.
Being with Tony is probably the best thing that happens in Tom life. And he is just fearful if a day may come when he and Tony may have to separate or If tony leaves him or if Tony dies. How will he cope with the situation. It meant an end to his world, crisis, an apocalypse.
Sitting in his chair he was wondering if he can be himself like Tony. To become Tony, has been the wish of Tom since past many years. He wanted to live carefree, no worries and all solutions, a kids attitude, just like of Tony. He had been praying for past many weeks in church and the only wish he had been asking was to become Tony. And then just with the flick of a flash "IT HAPPENED". Tony was sitting on Toms chair. Their was no one else in the room.
Two guys were passing by the cabin. One guy asked who is that. The other explained - Don't you know him, he is Tom. The first one told, that some people call him Tony. To that the second one replied "Tony was his childhood name".

Charlie Hebdo Retold (Fiction)

"Loud noise of Bomb sprang out on quite Morning of a quite Paris neighborhood. Two man dressed in black ventured out. Allah-u-akbar chants were in the air. The two terrorists had their faces covered in black mask. One was a tall guy and the other was little shorter and fat. They had automatic rifles in their hands. The two got into their black hatchback car and sped away from there. The smoke was coming out of the building they barged out from. On top of the building was written Charlie Hebdo and a camera recorded their act. After few blocks they stopped the car. In front of them was a police car. They came out. They shot the policeman and off they went from there. Some youngsters on top of their building recorded their act. And soon the video Clips were doing round all around the world about France being under Terrorist Attack."

1 Year before Charlie Hebdo:

Akshay was sitting in front of Raj, his boss. They were discussing about a very reliable intelligence they have received of a possible big terror attack in India that is in making. And the only man (Bilal) who can tell them about operation details is serving death sentence in Brazil prison. Raj and Akshay had been discussing ways to get information out from him. They had previously sent man into that jail as spy, but he was not able to get any information from him, although he managed to gain his confidence. After trying all his options Raj called in Akshay to do the job. Akshay had never failed any mission before. Only problem, Akshay never disclose what he has planned and how he is going to carry it.
So Akshay took the challenge and took off for Brazil. Akshay is a tall lean handsome guy. He mostly covered all his mission with Ambrut who is little short and bulky guy. But he chose to go all alone in this mission. He gave out a letter to Ambrut and asked him to call up Brazil police and tell them whatever is written on letter at a specific time. Just before Akshays plane landed in Brazil. Ambrut did exactly what was asked. Soon police captured Akshay. 10 kgs of high quality cocaine was recovered from him. He was sent directly to a high security prison. However this prison did not housed Bilal. So after a day, Akshay tried to break out of the prison by attacking a prison guard. And to his utter amaze he almost managed to flee, but has to intentionally get himself caught again. After this act, the Police was forced to send him to the highest security prison, where he should not be able to break the prison again. And this is the prison that housed Bilal. He spent first few weeks trying to get close to him. And after few months became one of best friend of Bilal. But Bilal never spoke about information that Akshay needed. So at last after all futile attempts Akshay thought of aborting mission. His friends had been fighting his case in Brazilian court and had almost arranged his bail out. At last when Akshay release was due in 1 week. Bilal told him that he know Akshay is not a normal prisoner but wants information that some other have earlier tried too. Akshay told him that he will get him any reward for the information. "You cannot afford any reward to a dying man, Akshay" said Bilal. "I can get you anything" replied Akshay. "Oh.....I guess.....by that.....you might be meaning, you can get me out of Prison by breaking it?....but they will catch me back in few months. All the world police will be after me. And police dogs are the biggest sniffers. No one can escape them" said Bilal. There was a long silence from Akshay. Soon Bilal left the common room. Akshay spent that day and night in deep thought. In the morning he went to meet Bilal directly. "If I can get you out of here, with your sentence nullified and no police chasing you ever. You living a peaceful life afterwards. Will you give out the information?" asked Akshay. "Dont joke Akshay." replied Bilal. "No its not Joke" said Akshay. And then he told the plan to Bilal in his ears. Bilal could not believe it but he agreed. He however put a condition that will only shed out information after getting out.
Before Akshay was let out of Prison with the help of attorneys his friends employed, he managed to sneak out a package for Bilal full of Medicine. Bilal started taking those medicine and that made Bilal sick day by day. The medicine left by Akshay were making him sick. So the authorities were forced to take him to Hospital one day. Akshay had taken the job of Janitor in hospital by forging some documents. When Bilal got admitted, Akshay hacked into Hospital System and changed reports of Bilal to show that he has got HIV and is going to Die in 1 month. A letter was sent to court and they granted him stay in Hospital for the rest of his life. After few days Bilal condition detriorated to worst. And one fine day Akshay gave him another special medicine to take. The medicine induces artificial comma for few minutes, it lowers the heart beat to lowest, giving an impression that person has died. So after taking the medicine, Bilal acted like he has died. As soon as Doctor saw a dead heart beat and confirmed that Bilal has died. Akshay sounded the fire alarm and doctors started fleeing building. At this time Akshay took out a dead body from Morgue and replaced it with Bilal. After Doctor came back from False Alarm, they found a dead body which they gullibly took as Bilal body. They ordered to take Bilals replaced dead body to morgue and soon he was buried.
Bilal was now free. Police has identified him dead. He will not be pursued anymore. Akshay was sitting with him. He had his new passport ready for his flight to Maldives where he may now live with a new name and identity. So now Bilal spilled the beans. He told him 3 Pakistani names who are planning to carry out Nuclear attacks in India. He said that Pakistan 5 years back had planned to sent out a nuclear bomb for North Korea on insistence from China. And North Korea was to sent out Missiles to Pakistan. But mid way circumstances led to North Korea cancelling it and the bombs were sneaked out by ISI into a terrorist outfits hand. He further told him that these 3 names are living at present in France and are awaiting final direction from ISI to carry out attack and are just waiting for that right moment.
Akshay returned to Raj with the information. But Raj had bad information from him. Raj told him that Govt has reduced their Funds, as Govt is now planning on investing more in another intelligence agency rather then theirs. Raj said that they may have to leak this information to Govt. Akshay can never agree to it. They had earlier shared info and the consequences have been worst. "We have to carry out operation on our own then" Said Akshay. After some persuation and reasoning by Akshay, Raj gave the green signal. Akshay called in his confidante Ambrut. He explained the full plan to Ambrut. "Ingenious" said Ambrut.
Akshay and Ambrut issued an ad in Newspaper as Immigration Consultant for immigration to Europe. They sent away any cut-surd and only entertained Sardars. They soon found three Punjabi Sardars who wanted to immigrate for any amount of money desired. They asked 20 Lakhs Rupees from each with 5 as advance.They soon had it. Raj got 3 passports made for them and got French Tourist Visa for them. The procedure took 3 months. And in the mean time, 3 Indians from Rajs Intelligence service got themselves employed in Charlie Hebdo magazine. Akshay had asked them to get a job there. One got job of Janitor, the other one got of Clerk and 3rd one of Journalist.
Soon the 5 (Akshay, Ambrut and 3 illegal immigrants) were on plane to France. After reaching France, Akshay took out passports from 3. He told them that they dont need it now. Raj received the rest 45 lakhs from relatives of 3 in India and transferred it to Akshay. The 3 went their way. Akshay and Ambrut then went to an Expensive Hotel to stay. "Never thought of living in expensive suits on a mission ever" said Ambrut. They slept through the night. Next day Akshay and Ambrut did the recce of  Charlie Hebdo. They spent next few days on it. Afterwards they took accommodation near home of 3 ISI mens which Bilal has told about. The 3 lived together. After following them for few days. One day Akshay said "Tomorrow is the day we are going to carry it out". They informed about it to 3 employees they had in Charlie Hebdo. Tomorrow was Saturday. And the 3 were required to be in Office in Morning on the Weekend holiday.
The operation started in Night. Akshay and Ambrut had earlier done the recce of the house of 3 and knew where they had stored weapons. In the night they sneaked into their house and took out weapons. The ISI trio were sitting in dining room enjoying dinner. Entered Akshay and Ambrut with automatic rifles. Soon the 3 were taken captives. Akshay asked them about location of Bomb. After some torture, the trio told him that it wont be much help to him. Because they only know that the bomb is lying somewhere in Algeria. The exact location with full Map information is with the 4th man called Abdul and they gave out the 4th Mans whereabouts and his identities to him. "Lets cancel plan. We didn't accounted for 4th man" said Ambrut. "No. Plan is still on. Take all soft-copies of Identity of Abdul from them". Ambrut took all information from them and afterwards gave them heavy sleep injections. Afterwards they loaded the trio into the big trunk of their car and drove off to Charlie Hebdo office.
At office, Janitor sneaked them in through back door, and soon they packed the trio into a closet.
Afterwards Akshay and Ambrut went back to their accommodation. Akshay and Ambrut then created and printed a fake driving license of Abdul. In the morning Akshay and Ambrut dressed themselves in Black. Covered their face with Black Mask and took off for Charlie Hebdo again. The janitor, Clerk and Journalist were already there in Office.
Akshay fired the shots in air and barged into office. He hurried the Janitor, Clerk an Journalist into room with no cameras. "Bring the bodies out, hurry" said Akshay. So they took out the ISI trio out. Ambrut gave a bag to Janitor, Clerk and Journalist. The bag contained fake beard, turban etc which helped them dress up into Sardars. The 3 then went out from backdoor. Akshay placed the bomb they took from ISI trio's house floor. "We have 20 seconds to get out". He set the bomb. Then they ran out of office.
Loud noise of Bomb sprang out on quite Paris neighborhood. Two man dressed in black ventured out. Allah-u-akbar chants were in the air. The two(Akshay and Ambrut) had their faces covered in black mask. One was a tall guy and the other was little shorter and fat. They had automatic rifles in their hands. The two got into their black hatchback car and sped away from their. After few blocks they stopped the car. In front of them was a police car. They came out. They shot the policeman in the leg and arms and off they went from there. Some youngsters on top of their building recorded their act. And soon the video Clips were doing round all around the world about France being under Terrorist Attack.
They drove the car out of the city where at a secluded corner, the Janitor, Clerk and Journalist waited in their sedan. As soon as Akshay-Ambrut arrived they opened the doors of car and left it deliberately opened. Akshay carefully placed the driving license of Abdul at the corner of the seat. Making it look like it was mistakenly dropped from the pocket. He also spewed few cloths and few bills of ISI terrorist trio in the car. They then marched to a car that was parked few blocks down. They drove off from there to their accommodation.
The French police and anti-terrorist force came and examined the scene. They found that the car was high-jacked few days back. The cloths and bills provided enough information on ISI Terrorist trio. They also found the Abdul's fake License. The French force raided trio's House, where they found a stash of Ammunition. They also raided Abdul's house in parallel, where they found the Map and place where Nuclear Bomb was kept in Algeria.
Akshay and Ambrut were glued to the TV set. They had been watching only news after they came from operation to their home. After few hours the News came that Abdul's house has been raided by Police. Akshay gave a big hi-five to Ambrut."This calls for shots" said Ambrut. And they took out champagne to celebrate. Just few hours after another news came that French Army has raided an Algerian place and took control of a Nuclear device.
The Paparazzi were running big news all around. The Public were coming out to pay tribute to Janitor, Clerk and Journalist killed at Charlie Hebdo. Charlie Hebdo Magazine had time and again published caricatures of Prophet Mohammad, due to which it had received many threats from Muslims Group. The attack was termed as terrorist attack to take revenge from Charlie Hebdo. Public and Paparazzi termed it as an attack on Freedom of Speech. Presidents of Neighboring Countries took out March with French President to show solidarity to Freedom of Speech. Hashtag #JeSuisCharlie went trending through the Internet. Charlie Hebdo subscription high rocketed. A little known Magazine now became frontier to save Freedom of Speech.
Under all these developments phone rang up in Akshay's room. It was Raj. Raj congratulated them and told them that its a month now. They can now come out of their vacations in France. Akshay bought 5 business class tickets back to home via Greece. 3 for disguised Janitor, Clerk and Journalist. They will be travelling on passports of 3 illegal migrants they smuggled. This marked the end of their mission to preserve peace.

NOTE : This is a pure fictional story build on Charlie Hebdo Terrorist Attack.

A Humpty Dumpty Story

Well yeah the Story starts with once upon a time there was a Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty has just joined College to study Engineering. He was just like everyone else except one big difference. He was a big Egg. A big white bald Egg, with short legs and long arms. He was very shy, who may look and act strong but was very soft and emotional from inside. Nobody was able to know what lie inside of his shell. He studied and mingled like everyone else, but you know he was still an Egg. He was odd in his looks and in his acts. Due to which although he mingled with everyone but he did not had any close friend he can call his close confidante. Because people try to mingle with their likes. And well, you know, Humpty was unique, he was an Egg.
In his class there was a Girl. And by Girl, well I think you made a right guess on cliche. She was the most beautiful girl. With a moderate height, fair complexion and thin Figure. She was a dream girl of most boys in the class. Boys yearned to get chance to get near her. They will try to do all stuffs to woe her. They will complete her Assignments. Will offer there seats and rides. However there was a small twist. Well you might have guessed right again. She liked the Egg boy instead. Our Mr Humpty Dumpty.
At first year Humpty Dumpty didn't approached her. Humpty Dumpty never guessed that the divine beauty being pursued by every boy around would actually by any chance like him. Because he had not been too popular with Girls. You know, because he was an Egg. So after her first long year, tired of waiting for Humpty Dumpty to approach her. Ananya (Yes,the name of the girl) decided to approach Humpty Dumpty in the start of 2nd Year.
So one fine day when Ananya entered the class. Instead of taking seats with anyone else she went to sit with Humpty Dumpty and introduced herself. It was surprising to Humpty Dumpty. She introduced herself. But well you know, Girls, specially like Ananya do not goes too bold at first meeting. Humpty Dumpty took it as a statistical mistake by Ananya to sit with him. But next day and then the next Day and so on. Ananya only sat with Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty started enjoying the company of Ananya and day by day they started to get more open. Sparks of love were flying around. But the sparks were falling to annoyance of other boys. Specially to Amit, Rishi and Rakesh,who never liked Humpty Dumpty. After Ananyas closeness with him, their dislike turned to Hate. You know the tactics of villains. They started trying to bully Humpty Dumpty. They will make fun of him. They will try to provoke him. But Humpty Dumpty out-numbered never retaliated. Company of Ananya was enough for him to keep him happy and get through College years.
The bullying got more strong as time passed. And one fine day Ananya complained the matter to College Authorities. It was easy decision for College Authorities because most of the people in class testified because the bullying was getting really out of taste of many. So the College Suspended the Students for a Week.
The friendship of Ananya and Humpty Dumpty got more Strong. One fine day Humpty Dumpty mustered enough courage to call Ananya out on Date on Valentines Day. They had been meeting before. But a special request on Valantine Day, gave full hint to Ananya where their relation is heading.
The valentine day came. It was one of happiest day of Humpty. Humpty dressed himself up in his best suit. He put on his best perfume and Deo. He has brought some chocolates and flowers to gift to Ananya. Ananya was also excited to know what Humpty Dumpty has planned for her. Humpty set off from his home at right time. But you know, there will be some mishappeing, So entered the Villains, the trio. They followed Humpty. They saw Humpty with flowers. They got full idea that it must be valentine day and Humpty is going to propose. And this fueled their hate into worst. How can an Egg have the girl they desired. Anybody but an Egg!!!. They finally found a place where Humpty Dumpty was walking alone into an alley of abandoned Factory. Excited to meet Humpty Dumpty, Ananya showed up early at place of Date which was still far from Factory. Finding Humpty Dumpty alone, the trio showed up in front of Humpty. "You dirty Egg", said Amit (the ring leader). "Eggs only look good in plate or frying pan. How can an ugly fellow like you even think of getting Ananya". Humpty didn't answered. "Answer me" said Amit. "She likes me after all." said Humpty. "She don't. Anyhow you have to first pay for getting us suspended." shouted Amit. There was a chain in the Amit's hands which he just picked up from ground. Humpty got an idea what was coming, so without wasting any time he ran for his life. He ran alleys, he ran stairs, behind walls and bricks. The trio searched for him frantically. It went on for hour. Ananya was waiting and was very disappointed. Thoughts coming into her mind that maybe Humpty don't likes her. After long chase, at last Humpty Dumpty stood up on the big wall, But the trio found him on wall at last too. Humpty shouted "Don't come over on the Wall. I can easily push you down from here and you ll be hurt". The trio laughed like mad on the statement. "We don't need to come up Dear. You will come down" Amit shouted back. "No, I will not be coming down" replied Humpty. "Wait" said Amit. And he picked a stone from a stack nearby and started tossing in his hand. The rest also picked stones from that stack. And they started to shoot at Humpty. Some missed Humpty and some struck. Humpty tried his hard to duck, but after few hits and getting hurt badly, his foot slipped. The world came crashing down. As Humpty was falling from the big wall, he remembered all the hits he had taken in life, but this is something he never thought off. He hit the ground with big thud. The trio wanted to hurt Humpty badly. But they didn't imagined about what happens if Humpty falls. Humpty hitting the ground on other side of the wall, Opened the eyes of Trio wide, After standing their shocked for a while, they ran out of there. They doubted Humpty may have got killed. So they ran away.
On the other side of the wall laid Humpty. His shell was broken. Pieces lying around. All the liquid was spewen on the ground. And in the middle there was a handsome man on the floor. The shell of Humpty is broken but it revealed the hidden handsome man inside, which no one, not even Humpty has ever seen before. After few minutes Humpty gained Consciousness. He saw his shell pieces around. He limped out of Factory. Only Ananya was on his mind now. He went to nearest Public Washroom. Got himself cleaned. Bought a T-Shirt on the way. And finally met Ananya.
They both Lived happily ever after. Humpty had come out of his shell and lived his Life openly and without any complex of being an Egg ever after.

Moral : Sometimes adversities comes to make us better.

Fantasy Vs Nightmare

Here is my first attempt at short Story. Tried to write a Novel. But it is too long an affair to take on. Hence through this blog I ll share all Stories my head concocts which I think I ll jot down before they get lost like many before.

It was broad daylight. Raj was getting ready for a date. He was brushing his hairs. The tie was resting on a chair nearby. And a neatly pressed Coat on hanger was hanging on side wall. Raj was a handsome man. About 6 feet tall. Tall dark and handsome. Although he was of middle age. But age only made him look more handsome. He has some grey hairs on his head but they end up giving him a corporate look rather then justifying his age.
The phone bell rang. Its a call from his girlfriend Reema. He picked up the mobile still brushing his hairs with other hand. Reema told him that she will be out of town for few days with her friends. Reema is a sizzling beauty and the love of life of Raj at present. Raj never thought he will fall in love ever as much as he had fallen with Reema. Raj had a sprawling business in News Media thanks to the legacy his father left him. But he had none of friends. The only best friend he has is Deepak who is his only supporter in the board of directors of his company. Due to the difficult nature of Raj, he dont have many friends in his company. Many wants him out for good. But its only because of Deepak support and his own share in Company which deterred the rest from taking the decision.
Raj is about to go on a date today with his estranged wife Sunaina. Sunaina had been Rajs wife for 15 years and is still today madly in love with Raj. Raj called her a week back and the call rejuvnated the hope in Sunaina for re-invigorated love she had always hoped to find from Raj. Madly in love with Raj, she is too envious of any girl getting close to him. The attitude which led Raj to get estranged from her. Little does Sunaina knew that the date that she dreams is going to sow back the seeds of love with Raj, will instead end up in final break-up and divorce proposal from her half.
After getting ready. Raj took his car out and as soon as he drove out. A speeding truck hit him. The light turned off, the next time he saw the light he found himself in Hospital. The first thing he saw was a fragile thin man with dark complexion and black coat at window peeping into room who called in doctors. After mustering courage to sit up. He asked the doctors what happened. The doctors told him he had an accident and had been in Coma since 2 years. The thought of Reema immediately stuck him, He asked about her. The doctors told him no one ever came out to meet him while he had been in Hospital. Something must have gone wrong with Reema was the immediate thought in his head due to which she might not have come. But Deepak, he should have been. The thoughts of corporate conspiracy immediately struck his head. Some board Members might played fowl. He waited for Staff to leave the room. And then he immediately shook off all Life support machines and tumbled out of bed and fell on ground while trying to get out. He went to see the Mirror to be presentable, and saw that his face don't looks the same anymore. The left eye is missing. The jaw is not at place. The ugliest face he can ever imagine was in front of him. But he still found a T-shirt and trouser in washroom. He wore it and sneaked out of Hospital. He first went straight to Reema house. But the house was locked. He saw the same dark complexioned man he saw at Hospital at the Curb who immediately moved out of sight. Raj then left for his office. At Office gate he saw that the name of his company is gone and in place another name is placed. He was not allowed to get in. He asked from Gate keeper about what happened to old company. Gate keeper told him that it got bankrupted a year back and new owner has purchased it. He saw an old Employee who told him that Deepak and other Board Members ran a free hand after he was in Coma, and together they misappropriated its fund to bankruptcy. Raj asked where Deepak is now. He told him that he now owns a big company in another part of town but his home is not too far away.
Raj borrowed the car from his old employee and went on to see Deepak at his residence. He reached there at dead of night. As soon as he entered he held up the collar of Deepak. "Deepak you ass, you cheat, you mixed with the rest and bought down the company". But he was too fragile to be of any match to Deepak, who easily pushed him on to the floor and kicked him in the stomach. "Who are you Raj? to question me. You had no contribution in Company. Your father built the Company. All you ever did was only running after women. Me and your wife were your only friend. You threw out your wife out of your life whenever you wanted. She is the only women who loved you. While the rest were only lured by your power". "No" Raj shouted. "Reemaaaaa..... She loved me". A big laugh came out of Deepak "Who? Reema? She is my wife you poor dog. I had put her in your life you remember. She had only been in love with me. She was only put to manipulate you". It was a jolt from Blue for Raj "No.....you liar". "Yes" entered Reema. "You Pig. How can you think I can love you? One day you are with one and another time with someone else. All you had was money and Power. Now you are nothing, so get the hell out of here". Entered the guards who manhandled the Raj and threw him out on streets.
A big cry came out of Raj. His whole life was is shambles. He had nothing left. He kept on crying sitting on the road. After the tears dried out. He saw the same dark complexioned man he saw at hospital at the curb. Raj mustered all the strength he had and ran after him. He ran hard like this is the only thing left in his life and after a short chase he caught the guy by his coat. But the man shook of his coat, gave a big push and a kick back to Raj. Raj got floored, which gave the chance to man to run away into oblivion. After getting his senses back Raj searched the pockets of Coat. He found a sheet. The heading on the sheet said "Raj - Fantasy Dream" and in another pocket he found the card with the name "Dream Contractors" on it and an address. He went back to his car and drove off the address. But it was all barren there. Nothing in sight for long. There was only a gutter there. He almost Left but then thought of checking the gutter once. As soon as he pushed the gutter, the gutter opened. Raj saw a ladder going down. He climbed down the ladder. At the bottom he saw a sprawling space filled with people. With people moving from here and there like its a factory. And he indeed was in a factory. There he saw the board "Dream Contractors". He moved around in the factory just like other workers. At last he saw the man he had been looking for. He saw him working on his desk and then leaving after some time. He went to his desk and opened his drawer. He found a file with te title written on it as "Raj - Fantasy Dream". In it he found written whatever has happened to him today. After reading more he found that the company handles dreams. And dreams are either qualified as Fantasy Dream or Nightmare Dream. The Name of Dark Complexioned man is actually Jack who is assigned to monitor Raj. But Raj was not able to understand about how come it is a Fantasy Dream when it had been a nightmare for him. After Deepak cheated him he has become cynical and now thinks that he is cheated by Dream Contractors too. He was issued the dream of Fantasy but Jack has made it Nightmare for him. He waited for Jack to return. Jack came back. Took out the file and left for his home. Raj followed him. Jack went to his building and went to rooftop. Raj sneaked in. "Welcome Raj" Jack said. "How do you know I am following You?" Raj replied. "I know everything" replied Jack. Raj went straight to hold his throat out. "Why have you made it nightmare for me? When it was ought to be a fantasy". "I am sorry I cannot tell you" Jack replied. "You will, otherwise I ll kill you" Raj said. "You can't. Otherwise you ll be tried" Jack squeaked. "Thanks that's what I want. I want to bring your lies out." Raj said. "You should not do that. The truth might be discomforting" Jack squeaked. "I don't give a shit" and Raj pushed him down from the rooftop of the Building.
The lights again went black. And this time he found himself in a room sitting on chair next to an old man sitting on chair watching him. "Who are you?" Asked Raj. "I am owner of Dreams Contractors" asked the old man. "Thanks I wanted to meet you." Raj exclaimed "Your Workers are corrupt." The old man gave him a smile back "How?". He took out the file "Read it. Its written Raj-Fantasy Dream. But your worker carried out a night mare for me. What kind of watch do you keep on your workers." Raj shouted. The old man read the file. "Yeah I do had given task of Fantasy Dream to Jack". "So how come this conspiracy took place. Why don't you employ right people and keep watch." Raj shouted. The old man again gave a laugh. "Why do you think its not a fantasy?" Old man said. "Read the file. Does it sounds fantasy to you?" Raj gawked. "Yes it is" said old man. "Let me explain. It is a fantasy. But its not your fantasy. It is a fantasy of Sunaina. Jack was given a task of controlling you the subject of Fantasy of Sunaina. You are just a pawn.". Raj stood there shocked. "You divorced your wife. You was her only life. She loved you with all core. But you never returned the favor. After you divorced her. Her love turned into hatred and only thing she wants is your destruction. And you and me right now are part of her dream. Not your dream Mr Raj. And she will do just like anything she may want". "But this is dream right I can pinch myself and get out." "Try it out Raj. But before that, a parting advice from me,--Never do things that make you part of somebodies fantasy as your nightmares". Raj pinched and he got out of his sleep with a big "Ugh". He checked his watch the clock was at 8 o'clock. His date with Sunaina is at 1 PM. But something in him has changed.
